Police Department, Community Center, Library, and Museum Remain Closed Virtual Services are Still Available and Encouraged
June 10, 2020 – The City of Arcadia is reopening City Hall and other City facilities to the public for services as part of the Safer at Work and in the Community Order issued by Los Angeles County. Beginning Monday, June 15, 2020, open facilities now include City Hall, the Fire Department, Public Works Services, and City parks and open spaces. The Arcadia Police Department, Community Center, Public Library, and Museum remain closed to the public; however, services by appointment or virtual services are still available and encouraged.
As a reminder, if you are feeling sick, have sick family members, or have symptoms like a fever or cough, please stay home and contact your primary care physician. The City of Arcadia reserves the right to limit or deny access to City facilities.
All City departments are fully staffed to respond to requests for services by phone, email, or online, and the public is encouraged to continue to use these services in order to help limit the spread of COVID-19. Arcadia City Council meetings will still be conducted virtually during the month of June but will resume in-person meetings beginning July 2020, with limited attendance per existing social distancing guidelines. To enter City facilities, visitors will be required to do the following:
You must wear a mask to prevent the spread in City facilities
Clean your hands at the door
Maintain social distancing of at least 6 feet in lines for services
Avoid touching your face and cover coughs and sneezes
We may take your temperature before allowing access to City facilities
“Los Angeles County continues to ease COVID-19 restrictions,” said City Manager Dominic Lazzaretto. “We have installed the necessary safety measures in City facilities that will allow the
public to enter and conduct business. Our larger venues like the Community Center and Library will remain closed until the State releases guidelines for re-opening high traffic facilities safely,” he added.
On May 29, 2020, the County of Los Angeles issued a new Safer at Work and in the Community Order to allow retail establishments including shopping malls and other lower-risk businesses to begin reopening under certain guidelines and restrictions. A copy of the Los Angeles County Order and additional regulations can be found on the City’s website at ArcadiaCA.gov/covid19 or by visiting publichealth.lacounty.gov.
